I expect both snippets to behave the same way.

obj = eo_add(SIMPLE_CLASS, NULL);
obj2 = eo_add(SIMPLE_CLASS, obj);

OR

obj = eo_add(SIMPLE_CLASS, NULL);
obj2 = eo_add(SIMPLE_CLASS, NULL);
eo_do(obj2, eo_parent_set(obj);

then, eo_unref/eo_del(obj2) removes from parent and deletes the object (ie
refcnt was 1, down to 0)

So, yeah, I agree with raster here.
